Slime 22038 Deluxe Reamer Plugger Kit with Storage Handle Reviews

• So... why four bits?

  This is a nice compact kit that I hope I never need... but as the Boy Scouts say .... "Be Prepared"!
  
  Like others here I was confused by the two apparently "extra" tools; I had expected only a cleaner & a plug inserter. I shot the company an e-mail and got this prompt reply:
  
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  
  1. The Needle that is open at the very top of the eye - to be used per the directions on auto tires.
  
  2. The Needle that is open along the side of the eye - to be used with ATV tires as per the directions (this type of needle would get caught on the steel belts of an automotive tire, and works much better with an ATV type tire.)
  
  3. The Needle that is completely closed is to be used like the #1 needle able, BUT once the needle is strung, it would be inserted ALL the way into the tire and pulled out half way; then cut off. (Same basic function, just really a matter of preference)
  
  We included all three of these so that the option that you are familiar with and/or most comfortable with are available.
  
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  
  So I am only going to keep the regular inserter and the rasp with the kit which I think will leave room in the handle for all the gear with no left-overs (I'm traveling right now so am not 100% sure on that but think it should work).

  I've only had it 2 weeks and I already had to use it, it was easy to use and works well.
  
  

• a plug for a plugger

  
  By AOXVPYOT3R7C4 on 2007-08-29
  I finally got a chance to use this product on a recent trip. I tried another product first and it failed, but then I plugged my front motorcycle tire with this product and it held well for the 1500 miles until I could get it changed. Could use a little more instructions on it's various bits, however. The case is nice and compact and keeps everything together
  
  

• Easy to use and effective

  I used this plugger kit on a puncture in my rear moped tire. At some point I had run over a screw which got lodged in the tire. I removed the screw and followed the directions on the plugger packaging. A couple of minutes later, the hole was sealed and I re-inflated the tire successfully.
  
  It's cheap, easy to use, effective, and handy (almost all the tools store inside the handle, with the exception of the pluggers). I definitely recommend it.
  
  

• Made me go back on the road

  i used to race superbikes... once, i got a puncture, and got flat...
  i was pretty worried 'cause i was far away from home... one of the guys walked towards me smiling.. and told me.. well dude.. get ready to stay here for a couple of hours... and i was like,,, "why the ... is he smiling"... and then told me that he was joking and told me that he got one of this kits... and repaired the tire in a few minutes.. then i went to a gas station... refilled the tire.. and the trip continued...
  i had not used yet the one that i just bought but i have it on the mini-trunk of the bike... and i know that it works.....
  highly recommended...
  
  
• Economical, works great ...

  I used this plug in my rear tire of Ducati Supersport. First I wasn't sure if it'll work and as other users suggested that the enclosed instruction is poor. You have to do the guess work on the tool to use for inserting the plug, I had no luck with open eye, be careful in using that because it may damage the tire surface around the reamed area of the tire...I quickly moved to close eye for inserting the plug.
  
  I like it because the price is very reasonable, compared to others I've researched on the internet...similar products cost $25+. I bought 3 of them, two for my other colleagues...buying in 3+ will save you on shipping at Amazon, so make sure you check with others before placing the order to save on shipping.
  
  I have more than 100 miles on the plugged tire, and is more than 3 weeks now...the plug is still holding up. I must've lost about 4 psi of air since I plugged it but I guess that is normal for air to leak in 3 weeks.
  
  Other thoughts: I was lucky this time because I plugged it in my garage so I was able to use my cycle pump, if the flat has to be fixed on the road then make sure you also carry some sort of portable hand pump (or nitrogen) so you can reach the nearest gas station with limited air in the tire.
  
  
• The tire patches do not fit into the handle
  By A3S7EW82DK752U on 2007-12-30
  This is not apparent from the photos or the description, but the tire patches do not fit into the handle along with the tools. Otherwise the quality is ok for the price.
  
  
• Nice design
  By A5ZTBR1U85J9J on 2008-02-19
  The tool comes with 3 eye needles! I cannot figure out what the other two are designed for. They cannot be possibly meant for use with worms as one is closed like a regular needle and the other is hook shaped.
  
  I dumped them along with the blade to make room in the handle for the gummy worms.
  
  Having the tools in the handle is a nice design. Keeps the rasp tool from causing damage to everything around it.
  
  
• Great for the motorcyclist
  By AM49N936I5S15 on 2008-06-09
  Bought this for my motorcycle trips. Can't beat the size as everything fits in the handle. Very sturdy and versatile. Wish the cover on the handle would stay closed a little better, but that's just being picky.
  
  
• Tire Plugger

  The product is a "safety-emergency" product. It was purchased for potential tire failure. However, the product appears to have all the needed parts to meet me needs.
